Harvey was born with autism as well as Prader-Willi syndrome, and partial blindness.
During the show, the mother-of-five opened up about the abuse her oldest child receives online - adding that he wants to stand up for those who don't have the public platform.
She explained: "It's just so shocking what do you do, what do you do? He's innocent, he wouldn't harm a fly.
"I think it's good that he's in public eye because there's so many people out there who are scared, they don't know how to cope or they don't go out because they think people might look at them.

"Why should Harvey be hidden away? Everyone loves him, he's got such a following. Just because of his disabilities why should be be treated any different?"
Explaining his new role to the teen, Katie said that being an ambassador "means you're going to help other people like Harvey and protect them from people being horrible."
Earlier in the day, Katie shocked fans when she showcased her completely different look on Instagram ahead of her TV appearance.
She took to her Story to share a behind-the-scenes photo of herself getting ready to go on air.
